Harbour Bar & Kitchen - Sydney

Horrible service Ignore for 20minutes until we caught a waitresses eye as they took orders from the table next to us Drinks took forever to come Did not

Came here cos we couldn't get a table next door at Hurricane Grills, but turned out to be a lovely dining experience. Staff were very friendly and service was very prompt. All meals were of decent portion size. For the location and the view, it is very reasonably priced. Our friends and family all enjoyed what they ordered. Even the kids meals were good sized and the mini burger is big enough for a big kid. The steak that I ordered to be cooked to medium was slightly overlooked but not too dry. Overall, we enjoyed our meal.

Came here 2 weeks ago for an early sitting. I booked during the week for a Sat night but on the day our booking was nowhere to be found. We were seated outside with what seemed like half a table as it was literally half the size of the rest of the tables out on the balcony. Service really needs to be more attentive & staff trained on the basics. Someone came out with a jug but no glasses. Staff were barely around half the time, it would be good to have staff check up every now & then. We decided to order the Mayflower & Lychee Flyover for drinks to start off. Entrees - scallops - cooked well however there is a large amount of quinoa, personally it doesn't really need so much of this. - duck spring rolls (as everyone has been raving on about them here) - first few bites were good but the filo pastry gets quite filling after a while, I think normal spring roll pastry would be better or maybe less filo sheets. The entrées came quite quickly and we were still... read more

Dinner and drinks with a view - this is a venue to sit back, sip and take in the atmosphere of Darling Harbour. When here a table outside is a must. This restaurant provides a great view over Darling Harbour, Pyrmont bridge and the city skyline. We dined on a Tuesday night and found ourselves relaxing with a deliciously fresh cocktail - the Lychee Flyover (chambord, pineapple and strawberry) and some crisp Pacifico beers. For starters we had the scallops with quinoa and apple couscous and the duck spring rolls. The duck spring rolls were a standout - filled with snow peas, bean sprouts, ginger, garlic and flavoursome duck. Covered in a homemade pastry that gives them a homely crust. The pastry was deliciously puffed and crispy and went excellently with the plum hoisin sauce. For mains we could not go past the rib & rib combo - ½ rack of pork ribs and a ½ rack of beef ribs woodfired and basted in five spice sauce. The ribs were juicy and melted off the... read more

Harbour Bar Kitchen, located in the darling harbour side precinct. Indoor section and an outdoor balcony (with cover), perfect to sit alfresco and enjoy the sweeping views of sydney and our spot was right opposite the centre point tower. We sat outside and promptly were delivered menus. There's a bunch of burger and pasta specials on offer, but we decided to go for the duck spring rolls - white snow peas, bean sprouts, ginger, garlic and coriander, served with Hoi Sin sauce, these had a good amount of crunch and an extremely tasty filling. This came as a recommendation by the waitress. I was also keen for the wagyu bresaola with rocket and truffle parmesan. Extremely flavoursome and I enjoyed it a lot. Other choices on offer include zucchini fritters, scallops, tasting bruschetta or prawns. The menu then extends to garden options of a kale, quinoa or lamb salads and vegan plates are available too. For the mains there were lots of choices; from a hanging chicken skewer, an interesting sounding crocodile burger. For today, we shared the ribs and ribs combo $55 with fries. Pork ribs and beef ribs - extremely large and super juicy with some great crunchy fries. This left us extremely satisfied and very full! For a drink we got the strawberry daiquiri - a beautiful icy work of art, topped with strawberries, a really nice flavour too. This place has happy hour every day from 3-6 pm, with $5 coronas, house spirits and wine, $8 cocktails - that's a pretty good deal if you ask me. Staff were extremely nice and helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. aroundtheclockfoodie.com
